NFL PLAYERS SHARE SUPER BOWL MEMORIES

Excitement for Super Bowl XLVIII had some serious competition this week: the Polar Vortex. Much of the U.S. battled frigid temperatures, leaving no room for thinking about football.

With the extremely cold temps out of the way, we can go back to gearing up for one the most anticipated sporting events--the Super Bowl!

To help you you reenergize, Amtrak teamed up with Baltimore wide receiver Torrey Smith and former players Brian Dawkins and Matt Light to hear their #SuperMemories from past Super Bowls. So even if your team isn’t marching to Metlife Stadium we can still help you get hyped for Super Bowl Week.

Here's the first video from the series, but we encourage you to grab a seat and some popcorn, then head over to our You Tube channel and check them all out. And remember, America's Railroad can take you to New Jersey, New York or any part of the Tri-State Area so you can make your very own #SuperMemories.

Have you taken an Amtrak train to a big sporting event? Tell us in the comment section below or join the conversation on Twitter using hashtag (yes, you guessed it), #SuperMemories.
